The apt Group, together with RRS Schilling GmbH, has successfully introduced Friction Stir Welding (FSW) for the production of battery housings.

Through this partnership and targeted know-how transfer, apt was able to meet the demanding requirements of the agricultural machinery sector and sustainably strengthen its own manufacturing expertise.

The project is a prime example of forward-looking technology cooperation, opening up new possibilities for customers in lightweight construction.
